Pura Vida!

The trip to Costa Rica with many of Ashleigh's classmates and their parents was fabulous! We did and learned so much over the course of 10 days. While the rice and beans may have started to get a little tiring - every day, three meals a day (even breakfast!) - the food was wonderful, and it was a shock to the system to have to actually cook for myself when we got home.

There was hiking, kayaking, ziplining, hiking, rafting, hiking, and more learning than I thought possible. Our Tour Guide, Sr. Chris Alfaro, was amazing at keeping the kids entertained, while sneaking in extra knowledge here and there. And the kids remembered! AND - they easily went back and forth between Spanish and English, conversing and answering questions in both languages.

Amazing experience with amazing kids. There's lots more, but here are some pictures on the left.
